Since when did life change?

When you were young, you loved baseball. You started to learn from catching the ball. You entered the school team, won the game, and won the grand prize. After graduation, you are engaged in the sales job you like. You work hard and have talent. Starting from an ordinary salesman, then It’s the regional sales manager, and then he was transferred to the headquarters, and his position was on average; you met the woman in your life and fell in love hopelessly. Hand in hand into the palace of marriage, that day, happiness is written on the faces of both of you.

Life is as good as it is cruel.

In middle age, you are getting busier and busier, and gradually, the familiar rhythms leave you.

In the company, no one is pleasing to your eyes. Every day you apply the formulas in the sales bible to deal with customers. You start to drink, you start to get drunk. What's terrible is that your wife is also addicted to alcohol. how? I work so hard to make money, are you still not satisfied? You look at the big house I bought for you? There is also a valuable swimming pool koi! Why are you?

Once, you got a big order. That night, colleagues opened sixteen bottles of wine to celebrate. You were so drunk that you got into a difficult sexual harassment lawsuit with your female subordinates. But, you tmd was so drunk that night that you didn't even know if she had been on it!

When you come to the boss's office, he tells you about the company's business adjustments. The company you have worked for for 16 years does not need you anymore. In his mouth, you are worthless to the company, and the sales courses you teach for the newly hired boys are also ruthlessly mocked by him. The company left you only three boxes of things, a gift, and a small saber. Sixteen years! md, you don't hesitate to insert it into the boss's tire!

You want to go home and seek a warm hug. However, the door locks were all changed, and there was no one inside. Your things are scattered all over the yard. That's right, your wife wants to divorce you. She has been completely disappointed with you and has gotten with your alcohol mentor. You can't even get in the door, you can only spend the night on the sofa and wake up every morning by the automatic sprinkler on the lawn. The two words "luotangji" and "unlucky" are simply invented for you.

It's not over yet, the police are here. You are complained by your neighbors and you can't stay in the yard anymore, because sleeping in the yard violates the state law and you will be evicted by the police soon!

You want to swing a stick hard and get back a round.

But, Who are you fighting with? Fire your boss? The teenager looking for trouble at the convenience store? The guy who came to steal something in the middle of the night? The clerk who refused to give you beer? Or a nosy neighbor? No, if it were them, it would be much simpler.

What you want to fight is life.

People are inferior to dogs in middle age. It's like falling alone in the boundless sea, nowhere is the shore. You swim as hard as you can, and take a deep breath, but a bigger wave is coming. You are exhausted, where is the direction? You want to swim hard, move forward a little bit, and move forward a little bit, but it just traps you there hard, it’s hard to move.

Why? What has changed?

You might see a clue in that guy who has a soft spot for your sofa. This guy just got a TV and thinks of a suitable sofa, which is why he always wanders around in your yard. God knows what else will he want after the sofa, matching audio? Change house? Desire will gradually increase until he can't breathe under pressure. Watching him hump the sofa onto the roof of the broken car and drive away obliquely, you feel relieved.

It's yourself that you want to fight.

In the big sale, you sold everything, leaving only a stack of old records. How important music is to life! What is the meaning of life without melody and rhythm? Maybe you already know where you should swim. Bless you, Control your own destiny or someone else will!

The film's golden sentences are continuous and the scenes are delicate, as if every line and every inadvertent detail can trigger the audience's long thinking. Also, well-controlled rhythm and perfect soundtrack. By the way, the above description of the plot of the film is full of all kinds of obscenities of the author of this article, and is not entirely true. In addition, the author also intends to ignore the interesting things that happened between the male protagonist, the beautiful neighbours, and the women’s high school classmates. In short, after watching such a big piece of nonsense, you are still worth watching this movie, which is highly recommended.
